Description:
This is a super rare, mint and complete example of a Rock Island Arsenal General Officer M15 pistol, issued to Brigadier General Salvador Padilla, with the listing of the gun's serial number and the General's name referenced in Brunner's General Officer Pistols book. Only about a thousand of these were built at Rock Island Arsenal from existing stocks of Colt 1911 pistols in 1970s for issuance to US General Officers by shortening the slide and giving the gun a very attractive high polished finish on the sides.
At retirement, generals had an opportunity to purchase the issued gun from the Army. Very few did, making these pistols very rare.
This particular example is mint, and appears unfired after leaving the Rock Island Arsenal. The gun is a most complete example of the M15 that I had ever encountered. It comes with the original belt, holster and 3 matching magazines, with two are still in original army issue wrapper!
This is a highly desirable complete US General Officer pistol set with an incredible investment potential as well.
